Yes, indeed it is. The white stuff on the mountain far ahead, if you look closely, is snow. That's what I saw this morning. And then, by lunch time, I saw actual snow below some trees beside the trail. See below...
And, by the end of the day, this is what I was trudging through - patches of wet, slushy snow.
More sections of unmelted snow will be coming!
Below is a water supply along the trail today. A small pipe of water from a nearby stream, perhaps.
Obviously, one filters it and drinks the water 🙂.
A few photos from today:
And since this is after all California, check out the sticker on the top right of this board. Expanded image below too:
There was a lot of elevation gain today and hence, it was slow. So much so that my preferred campsite was fully occupied by the time I reached it and I had to go another mile to get a site which had some spots left. Unfortunately, the only spots left there were sloping and it was painful night slipping to one side of the tent 😬
You can clearly see the tent sloping to the right.
